Wedding ReceptionReviewed on September 9, 2013From Medford, OR

Absolutely fabulous! Thomas was great to work with in planning all the details, very professional and accommodating! Everyone loved having the band, and everyone got up and danced through out the night. Kim sounded amazing and was the perfect MC! All the instrumentals were perfect, just the mix we were hoping for and appealed to all ages. Everyone in this band is extremely talented! Just what we were hoping for for our special day, THANK YOU!!! Mike & Maureen

Corporate FunctionReviewed on January 14, 2013From Wilsonville, OR

Funktastik arrived on time, played a wonderful mix of music based on the tone of the event as it changed over the night, and had positive interaction with the guests. They also allowed us to use their microphone for some company announcements at the end of their last set. Very friendly, very talented, and very professional band!

Private PartyReviewed on October 4, 2012From Portland, OR

I am a Marriage Proposal Planner and I hired this band to play for a client who had just proposed. They were perfect. Our client was very pleased with them, they played the song on cue that we wanted them to play, they played all the right music, it was great! They were on time, responsive, professional, flexible, and courteous. I would recommend! Michele http://www.theheartbandits.com
